Looking at the recent trend of RIVER, carefully compare it to the performance of MYX in the past—the tactics are actually quite similar—ultimately, a fierce spike is usually pushed in, sweeping away all the opposing orders, and the multi-fold gains are achieved in an instant.

The trading logic is very clear: during the night, when popularity is thin and market participation is low, it’s the golden window for dumping. When big players start to come online during the day, the trend has already turned, and it’s just a matter of the last buyers catching the bag.

Just look at the current funding rates to see how crazy the bulls are. The risk on the futures side is off the charts—one lightning-fast move, and the account could be wiped out instantly. Compared to spot trading, which can’t leverage gains, bold traders can indeed enjoy the final slice of the pie.

The problem is, how many people can truly resist the temptation? The manipulator’s tactic is to keep creating FOMO emotions, making you feel that missing out equals loss. Chasing highs, getting trapped, cutting losses—within this cycle, retail investors are always being repeatedly harvested.

Defense is always more difficult than offense. In a scenario with such high funding rates, it’s wiser to control risks reasonably rather than chase extreme returns.
